Eyelids: Before and After

Judge · 10-16-2010, 10:33 AM

Not sure if I like them. They aren't painted yet and haven't been installed so this is what they look like when you just stick them under the hood. Notice the left side has an Amber-gone sticker whereas the right doesn't. I think I like the less-amber look.

I just got a set pre painted in jet black and I really like them

They are not too noticable from distance but up close they look very aggressive.

I think I like them. Have to see in person to really know for sure.

They come in matte black unpainted? What site did you buy them off of?

otony · 10-19-2010, 07:42 PM

why?

inandout · 10-20-2010, 07:34 PM

looks weird. makes your car look sleepy instead of aggressive.

Eye lids look horrible on these cars. They make the fact that you're trying to hide some of the headlight shape way more obvious, because they fight every single line of the car that meets with them. Some people dislike the headlight shape of the 1 series....but I think the headlights the way they come beat the crap out of headlights with eyelids.

Lol glad u liked them! The ones u have are different than op version. I have csr also and much better IMO because it follows the hood contour lines
